Discovery

I decided that I was going to start blogging again. I am hoping that my story will help encourage others and help keep me on track with healthy eating and exercise. I have had so many self discoveries over the last several weeks and I know without a doubt that God is healing me from the inside out. He is helping me to discover who he designed me to be. I for years have had such a false sense of who I was and who I should be. I wasn't listening to God and studying his word in the manner in which I should. I felt like I took up too much space on this earth due to being overweight and I hated every fiber of who I was. I for years wouldn't go outside and play with my children. In fact, neighbors thought my husband was a single father. I was hiding from the world and as a result life was passing me by. I realized years ago that I was designed by the same Father that created the moon and the beautiful stars. I was crafted by my Heavenly Father and he had a plan for me. I knew it in my head but I didn't feel it in my heart. I didn't know how to change. I certainly wasn't comfortable in my own skin but wasn't sure how to change the skin I was in. Just recently a friend shared with me the 21 day fix. I know that it is changing my life. I have been on it for 34 days today and have lost 20 lbs and several inches. I am gaining so much more than the weight I am loosing. I am learning to live again. I am spending time in the word and letting the word feed me instead of reaching for cookies and any other food that would just stuff my emotions deeper inside when I didn't know what to do with them. I am allowing myself to feel and to not be afraid of actually feeling and grieving for past hurts. I know that God is with me and he will never leave me and I can face the past and the future with his guidance. I am so thankful for my friend that shared 21 day fix with me. I signed up to be a coach and it is my dream that I can help others learn from my story and reach their dreams. Won't you journey with me?
